I’ve wanted to write a blog post for some time about the pregnancy and birth choices Mr. Wetzel and I are making. In fact, I’ve wanted to write this blog post since the beginning, when we started growing into our new lives as parents-to-be. However, it seems that many of our choices can be misunderstood, [...]

Week 29 – Uneaten Food
On Sunday, my mother-in-law was over for a bit. She loves real food, but isn’t a member of a CSA, like we are.

I love esty.com. It’s like an online craft fair/garage sale/antique shop. I love how handmade and vintage it is. I love how personal each item is, and how exciting it is to uncover each beautiful treasure…each great bargain.
Week 28 – In Season This Winter
It’s cool and damp outside. The grass here is green and lanky. We should have mowed our lawn more in the fall, but it’s matted down by the morning frost now.

Week 27 – Laying Off
I know, I know. The blogs have been posted pretty inconsistently lately. At the end of the year last year, I was laid off due to lack of hours at my job, and with that my access to the internet diminished significantly. No, I wouldn’t blog-on-the-job. My bosses were really cool, down-to-Earth guys, however, and they wouldn’t mind it if I did personal stuff on my lunch break, or if I stayed late to work on a personal project (on my own dime).
